After reading the presentation on solution-focused intervention, I gained knowledge of the uses of solution-focused interventions, especially in the cross-cultural environment. I learned a lot about inclusivity and using the social worker's cultural strengths. The reflection presents some of my views that changed after reading the article.
I agree with the presenter's view that solution-focused intervention is a psychotherapy treatment. Solution-focused methods have been utilized effectively in personal therapy and also by families and couples. The methods were created aiming to help individuals undergoing treatment discover solutions to problems they experience. Notably, the approach has extended to provide solutions to issues in diverse challenges experienced in the day-to-day lives of people. Individuals from different organizations, communities, and age groups also seem to benefit from the interventions arising from the methods.

In the solution-focused approach, the person requiring treatment is seen as the "master" of the problem he or she is facing. The specialist requests the person to state what transformation they would like to see in their body. The patient will also contribute to laying out proper approaches that can effectively achieve the intended objectives. Because the procedure focuses on problems instead of their purposes, it could be more viable at treating specific issues than others.
Studies have shown that the Solution-focused approach might be a valuable method for social workers who encounter conduct issues or work problems. It has additionally been seen as a viable way to deal with family treatment and couples' guidance. This strategy is frequently utilized in addition to other related methodologies. A solution-focused approach may not be recommended for individuals who are encountering severe mental disorders.
